About Grilled cheese sandwich with arugula

The Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Arugula is a flavorful twist on the classic comfort food. This sandwich combines melty cheese—typically sharp cheddar or gooey mozzarella—with the peppery bite of fresh arugula, all layered between slices of artisan bread and grilled to golden perfection. Originating from American cuisine, this version adds a hint of Mediterranean influence with the inclusion of arugula, known for its nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich properties. The sandwich balances indulgence with nutrition: cheese provides calcium and protein, while arugula offers vitamins A, C, and K. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on the cheese and bread used. Opt for whole-grain bread and a modest amount of cheese to boost fiber and reduce caloric density. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, this dish delivers comfort with a fresh and healthy twist.
